Vantaggi

Good managers who are also nice people. Welcoming work environment. Good training and ongoing coaching.

Svantaggi

Base flat-rate unit commission per sale has not changed in over 10 years to keep up with inflation. The compensation model for floor sales consultants now splits commissions and unit credits with the call center on most sales. This has moved the goalposts on achievement of sales targets and makes it extremely difficult to attain unit sales required to earn higher commissions (Presidents Club). Most new sales consultants will have income significantly lower than sales consultants hired over 5 years ago. Work life balance is challenging, due to the need to work nights and weekends, but this is typical of retail sales. Upper management seems unaware of how badly compensation in this role lags competitors. Heath insurance is available, but expensive.

Vantaggi

The perks of working at CarMax are quite extensive. Associates are offered an aggressive 401k program, Stock Purchasing Plan, in store discounts on sales and service, access to the CarMax Wholesale system, excellent healthcare, plenty of PTO, and at my location we are given as much OT as we want. My coworkers are generally good people, that I enjoy being able to work along side day in and day out. Management is very understanding in regards to calling out sick family emergencies, and schedule requests.

Svantaggi

Despite doing the work of 5 people, and very politely asking for a raise management will not give me more than my 3% annual raise which is the single biggest let down. The bonus change of 2025 being labeled as "exciting" was straight corporate gaslighting unlike anything I've ever seen. Since the start of 2026, as of this review being written we have lost 7 associates largely due to pay, and I am soon to join those associates. Management from the store level up to corporate needs to understand that to retain their top performers they need to be compensated like a top performer. Some members of management are cliquey and moody which is very frustrating to deal with. Quality of Management varies wildly from store to store as well
